Le Labo delivers distinctive, long‑lasting fragrances that draw frequent compliments, according to reviews, yet opinions split on wearability and strength—some scents project for days while others fade quickly or feel overpowering. Reviews praise Santal 33, Another 13, Rose 31, Thé Noir 29, Matcha 26, and potent candles, plus personalized labels and refillable bottles; weaknesses include very steep pricing, occasional batch inconsistency and broken sample sprayers, some bodycare underperforming, and candles that soot or burn too fast.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I’ve been consistently wearing le labo since the early 2ks. Like most Lelabo devotees I wear Santal but switch between a few. The scents are earthy, unique and have longevity.
obsessed with both santal 33 & te noir. price point is definitely high, but I do appreciate that you are able to refill at a lower cost.
The complexity and wearability of Le Labo is what I expect from a luxury perfume brand.
Feedback
The pricing can be hard to justify, especially for the non-perfume products.
I think that the packaging is lovely, but I think the products are overpriced and I have had issues with all the spray pumps on my perfume bottles.
I have tried Le Labo Santal 33. It’s a lovely scent for some, it’s not for me. I do think it is a quality fragrance. You get that immediately. The packaging is a little lackluster. One would argue that it cuts cost, but with how expensive the products are.. mmhmm… You may thing different about the scent. The quality is there, just not one I would personally wear regularly. I do think this brand is generally a quality brand.

Cost, packaging
I love Santal 33 and Rose 31. I love to wear my Santal 33. Even though it's a very popular product I still get complements on it every time I wear it out. I don't think the stores are very welcoming but I believe thats a brand choice so what can you do. (Order online, that's what I can do)

Warm up the vibes a little bit in the stores, I feel like. The products are really great!

I LOVE le labo scents and products. The perfume is definitely “a little goes a long way type of product” which helps offset the cost. I have Santal and Rose in perfume currently and love them both. I’ve had candles by them in the past and they give off so much scent and burn so clean they’re definitely worth it! I also use the Rose 33 laundry detergent and it’s amazing. Highly recommend.
Great quality fragrances with a good selection. Its like basics for your fragrance portfolio.
Smells delicious but is overhyped and overpriced.

My wallet and I wish the hype for these products wasn't real...but it definitely is. Their body wash is my absolute favorite.
AMAZING SCENTS. Santal 26 candle is my absolute favorite scent in the world. Lasted me an entire year.

I don't care if I smell like every other girl in Silverlake, Santal 33 is the best. When planning my wedding, I read that you should have a "signature scent" to wear for your wedding day so you can think of that day when you wear it again. Well I completely forgot to do that, but I managed to bring a travel sized Santal 33 on my honeymoon, so now every time I wear it I am transported back to Todos Santos, which is way better. My husband and I share this scent, and I always get compliments.

The price is obviously a big sticking point, but it's nice to put on your Christmas list and it lasts soo long!

Ok so yes this brand is expensive, but their scents last ALL DAY. I always get compliments wearing Santal or Another 13. Their shower and body products (creams, body washes and shower oils) are also really amazing and not as expensive, always end up repurchasing
Very nice perfumes. I eventually didn't decide to keep buying from them because the scents were to intense for my taste, but it's good stuff.

Create more light, feminine scents.
Expensive but amazing scents that will last for hours

I started purchasing Le Labo Santal 26 candles in 2016 as a corporate offering. It's a scent I love, and one I'd recognize anywhere now. I grew to love the brand, the unique stores, and the brand's offerings. I was lucky to visit a store in Tokyo while there on business, and was blown away by how beautiful it was, and how kind the staff were. The custom labels are make Le Labo products an incredible gift.

I've loved Le Labo scents for years. It has become more common and well known, which has reduced the amount of secrecy around the brand. I prefer lesser known fragrances. Santal is perhaps their flagship scent. I also love Another 13 which is a great unisex fragrance. Le Labo has city exclusive scents which are only available for purchase in that specific city. During the month of September, you can purchase these scents in any store. If you save the bottle, you can then get it refilled at any Le Labo store, even if it's a city exclusive.
Feedback
I wish the scents lasted longer or were stronger.
Nothing makes me feel quite as luxurious as using a Le Labo product. I use the Hinoki/Sesame body wash and have a CADE 26 candle that immediately transports me and makes me feel like I'm in a high-end hotel.
Feedback
I really wish they didn't stop making their body lotions. They've changed to having the body creams in a tub, but I miss the Hinoki/Avocado Oil body lotion more than anything.
Great scents- strong and lasting. Great for gifts- the candles especially
What can I say about a scent that will convince you it smells good? Le Labo is a great combination of fresh, sexy, musky, clean, floral all rolled into one. It's a special occasion scent or a scent to throw on when you need a pick me up.
Feedback
Le Labo is not affordable for everyday use.
